On a 8 year old laptop with celeron 1,6GHz processor and 2GB RAM it takes about 10 hours to rebuild firefox and thunderbird. Performance is great for working, but when updating the ports I leave it building over night. Lately I have been able to use a server at work for package building with poudriere which works very well. I guess FreeBSD people are close to having a new package infrastructure and look forward to this.
